Our Dog Lucy and a Winner

This is our dog Lucy. She is a great pet. She’s not perfect, but we sure do love her.

Here is Lucy when she was a puppy. It’s hard to believe that that little furball turned into the 75 pound sweetheart that she is now. Lucy is a rescue dog. We got her from a local person whose dog had a litter of puppies, and she was the last one left. The fellow told us he was going to take her to the pound since no one had taken her. We took one look at her and said, “Oh, no, she’s not. She’s going home with us.”

Lucy is a mixed breed. We know she is part collie and part lab, and who knows what else. Not long after we got her, she exhibited aggressive behavior. She was a wild and crazy dog, so we hired a trainer to work with us. It really didn’t help that much. We found out she responds better to a lot of attention and affection.

She loves to give hugs!

Her favorite spot is beside Leo’s chair where she gets lots of rubbing. She’s spoiled, but that’s ok.

Lucy goes everywhere Leo goes. If he goes somewhere in his truck, she’s in the passenger seat.

Now that she’s almost two years old, she’s not wild and crazy anymore. A few months ago, her back left knee slipped out of joint. It continues to happen occasionally, and she has mellowed since this happened.

Lucy is the perfect example of why everyone should try to rescue a dog. They give you more love than you can ever imagine.

I have enjoyed catching up on your blog today! So many great posts! Lucy is so cute! I’ve always adored your outdoor space too. And thanks for sharing the broccoli rice casserole recipe. I’ve seen it before but didn’t have a copy. Can’t wait to make it!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Lucy looks like such a sweet dog and she is so fortunate to have found such a loving home. I have started following you via the new Linky Followers and hope you have a chance to stop by for a visit and perhaps become a follower on mine as well. Have a nice day.

Beautiful Jane! Lucy is so pretty. I am publishing your home tour here shortly. Thank you for joining in on it, and I appreciate your support with everything this past year. You are a true gem to the blogging community. XO

Jane – Your collie mix Lucy is beautiful! Our collies always rode with my dad on the farm in his pick up truck. A dog really is man’s best friend. I’m with you. Rescues are the best! They seem to appreciate their life more and give you boundless love. BTW, that picture of Lucy laying on your husband makes me laugh.

Oh Jane…. Lucy is just BEAUTIFUL!!! How sweet she looks….. so glad you have her…. Leo and Lucy appear to be quite the duo!!!! Thanks so much for sharing from “The Cottage” … Hope you have a blessed week!! Terri

Hi Jane,
I’m so glad I found your blog through your comment at Claudia’s. I’ve had fun taking a tour of your home and especially LOVE the way you freshened up your porch! I’m tucking away some ideas for when the weather turns nice and we can use ours again.

I think “I Love Lucy”. She is a beautiful animal and from the pictures I can tell she is very special to you your hubby. How lucky that the three of you wound up together. Lucy looks like a giant compared to my 4 pound Holly. It would be funny to see them side by side. Hope you have her around happy and healthy for a very long time.———— Shannon

I am so excited to be the winner! Thank you. Your dog is very cute. Gracie our puppy who is 10 months is filled with tons of energy and we were told she will start to calm down at 4yrs. I’ll keep you posted on with the prize!

Thanks for your much appreciated comment, I also rescue our furry friends in need, and then find homes. For the one’s I don’t find homes, well, that’s why I have 4 dogs and a cat. Wow, she does look like a fox, so cute. Hugs, Lynn

Oh my heavens Jane!
She is such a cutie pie! Reminds me of a little red fox all curled up there.
I am so glad you found each other. They sure know how to get under your skin and
make you fall in love with them, don’t they?

So adorable.
Thanks for sharing today!
So glad I got to meet her.
🙂

Lucy is beautiful and that is a name I frequently call my kiddo by the way because I adore that name. I am so thankful you rescued her. Pets enrich us so very much. My cat travels with me as well and is my constant companion and he is the boss.

Lucy is so sweet! She’s so big too! I laughed when I saw her name…Lucy…my old neighbor in PA had a dog who was very old and her name was Lucy. Now my neighbors name was Sue. Sadly, Lucy passed on but all my children began calling my neighbor Lucy, instead of Sue! I still call her Lucy to this day…lol…just reminded me of that. congrats to the winner and on your one year anniversary!
